Apple has invented a case for wireless AirPods with touchscreen that allows users to interact with music apps, Apple TV+, maps and more. In this respect informs Patented Apple Portal.
According to a patent filed in September 2022, users will be able to switch between apps using Siri voice commands. One of the diagrams demonstrates the ability to transfer a song from AirPods to HomePod using the Handoff feature.
Given that Apple officially “buried” the iPod last year, such a decision could be a continuation of the legendary music players. Also, AirPods with built-in display can be an additional accessory for iPhone. This will allow non-Apple Watch users to control their smartphone’s multimedia features and other apps without taking their iPhone out of their pocket.
However, the existence of such a patent does not guarantee that such a device will one day go on sale, because the company has a large number of unrealized patents.
